    Down to 28 potential senders... need more hints.

    I'm okay with my info being shared among the group as well.

    Oh and to my sender: I don't remember what we specified in the signup but I don't really need any T-shirts. And I don't really need any pint glasses either. If you do wanna send glasses, I really prefer tekus and tulips. Somehow I'm pickier about glassware than beer...

    And to my potential targets: please like this post if you would like a bag of fresh local coffee beans, since this is stout-themed after all.

    NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL are the 4 major sports. NCAA sports are generally not included.

    I am at 34 (and have an additional 6 that I have tentatively rule out), but I've been stuck on this number for over 2 days now.

    To my sender: My wants are generally updated, but I'm not picky at all...

    You guys are totally correct.

    It's just been one of my go to hints the last few rounds!

    Stupid Ohio state ruined the joke.

    Hint #3.

    I'm not shipping to Ohio.

    #1 shipping east

    #2 The state im shipping to has a higher average temperature but lower "highest ever recorded" temperature

    #3 your state has a city with more pro sports teams than my whole state.
    (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL)

    #4 your state is smaller(sq miles) but has a higher population

    #5 fail to remove the hydroxylic acid and you could be led astray

    Hint - Sorry about the cold weather, this cold front here in Florida of 65 degrees has been rough...
    (I am going to hit the first beer, alphabetically by beer name, on my sendees 'wants' list that I randomly happen to have in my cellar.)

    Alright, I've got to ask a serious question. And maybe others were wondering as well, or maybe not.

    Is there anyone on the list that needs a signature request for their goodies??? Maybe they have had packages stolen from their porch, neighbors are shady, etc. I'd hate to have my targets porch "intact" because next door Willy is drinking the mother load in his garage.

    It was hot out of the gate. I had one last night and liked it a lot. Tons of chocolate and still some hot booze. I think come the fall this is going to be fantastic!

    hint #? my target has less than 200 wants and I am going to hit 12+

    Some of us get alerts from FedEx and UPS and know when something is going to drop, me included. I live in a place that always seems to be under construction and have a crazy work schedule with nobody home during the day, so sometimes when I get alerts I have packages redirected to the FedEx store to make sure I get them.

    Yeah, it ruins surprises, but peace of mind is important when we are talking about a decent amount of money and time spent by my sender. But I guess it depends on the person, whether or not someone is home all day to receive. Crapshoot.

    Hint: I have two of the wants on my recipient's list, and will be sending both. One of them is corked, and the other is particularly sexy.

    Good question, in fact we should get it out there, either through OP via BM or just right in the thread, if there's any shipping restrictions; required signatures, blacked out dates, maybe a moat?

    Also not a bad idea to let your sender know of any food allergies, since snacks have become a common thing of late; I'd hate to send someone peanut chews (or even a peanut butter stout!) and find out it caused a problem.

    Great idea and a good point!

    For the greater good I wanted to let my sender know that I have unfortunately developed a SEVERE allergic reaction to all beers except KBBS, Assassin, Abraxas, Mexican Cake, Huna, DBHuna, Bomb!, Black Note, KBS, BCBS and all variants.

    Wheeeeeeew it feels good getting that off my chest.

    OH yeah............for some reason all of @bevoduz homebrews are fine as well.

    Yeah I think that covers it...........

    Wait I'm good with anything from Belgium and sours from the west coast too.
